Reviews CCD 11047

Specter's beautiful playing leaves you thinking, „Where did that second guitar player come from? (…) Specter displays a kind of fifties sensibility in his playing that seems to rein him in… Robinson's singing recalls the laid back styles of Kim Wilson or Sugar Ray Norcia; and his harp playing suggests Little Walter. The guy's got great tone.

The Hard Report
September 1995
Jaybone

If you like guitar clean, sweet and subtle and sprinkled with a dash of jazz phrasing yet deeply rooted in the blues, then this CD is for you. Recorded live in Bremen, Germany in May 1994, this disc oozes blues of subtlety, economy, honesty and dedicated craftmanship. Specter's guitar is a truly amazing and breathtaking thing to hear. The fluidity with which intelligent, passionate and precise musical phrases cascade out of his soul and through his fingers is mindblowing. (…) I highly recommend this disc as well as any of Dave Specter's other recordings. His stuff is classy and elegant, a true treat.

Live In Europe brings further proof that Dave Spector ist one of the most tasteful (not a trace of rock in sight!) young “white” guitarist on the scene today, while Tad Robinson is one of the really rare “White” vocalists who is really interesting to listen too.
